BC1-1808 Homework, silentheart00

[Kent Trammell]

@silentheart00 Your desk scene is shaping up nice. BTW I see you RSVP’d to this livestream – this scene could work well for that 😎

[silentheart00]

@theluthier Heck yeah!  I will take any classes you have!

[silentheart00]

Modeling a flute is going to take a lot of work.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@silentheart00 OH GOD THE BOOLEANS

Good luck though my dude. Maybe instruments could become your thing? Look forward to seeing it.

[silentheart00]

@thecabbagedetective That is a great gif lol.  The problem with modeling instruments is each manufacturer has their own dimension variation, so there’s nothing online.  I’m using my own flute to get measurements.

[Mahir Tasin]

@silentheart00 Looks very nice good start. Maybe you can create a computer set if you haven’t decided yet.

[silentheart00]

@mahir07 Thanks!  No computer set in this image.  I’ll explain in my submission.

[Kent Trammell]

I personally have found the default 2.8 viewport settings to be…less than ideal for modeling. Currently it’s hiding your details imo. Maybe play around with other studio light setups or matcaps to do your model more justice.

[silentheart00]

@theluthier There will be simple shaders and the like, but the lighting I want to get is going to be a problem for the details.  Something to experiment with and figure out.

[silentheart00]

Quick test of lighting and materials.  I haven’t messed with these as much as I would like.  Been a little busy.

At this light level, you cannot discern any reflections or shiny things at all.  I want the lighting to be subtle and quiet, if that makes sense.

Week 2 Submission

Because my head and eyes hurt, and I can’t figure out how to save the bloody UV unwrap map, here’s my submission.

I was in a dark place the beginning of last week, listening to depressing music, and this piece was on my list.  Every single lyric in that piece resonates with me so very deeply.  I didn’t have the happiest or smoothest upbringing. but music and art have always been my refuge; it has always made me pull through despite what I’m feeling or thinking.  My go-to outlet has always been music and art, so with those feelings of last week I put in them front of you now despite some bumps with 2.8.  There are things I still want to add, things to tweak, but I can’t work with a headache and eye strain right now.

Sorry if some details get lost; still figuring out the lighting situation in Eevee.

[smurfmier1985]

@silentheart00 Sorry to hear you were in a dark place, but I’m glad you got music and and art to help you through. Can relate to those being best friends in a situation like that. 

Your render does look moody indeed, nice stuff lying around there, well done!! 🙂

[Matthew Ullrey]

@silentheart00 The Earth Song is very melodious. Hope the pain subsides and is replaced with a brighter week. I like the detail in the drawer handles.

[Jere Haapaharju]

@silentheart00 Don’t know about the lighting but colors are really good

[Jake Korosi]

@silentheart00 Eevee is different in a lot of ways, I don’t understand all of them either.  I see that the shading class has been scheduled for October and Kent plans to spend some time on Eevee shading – that’s going to be very useful I think.

I’m glad you’re able to cope with problems using art – lots of people say it’s very cathartic.  I don’t know if I find a similar outlet in my own stuff yet; I focus on realism it seems, and there’s not much room for expression there I guess.  But when I’m working in Blender – like if I’ve got a good few hours to just sit and do nothing else, I hit a kind of groove and the outside world just disappears for a while.
